Chapter 12

Wang Qiwang took out his pipe and took a puff. The dim oil lamp reflected the vicissitudes of life. "Xiushu, go back tomorrow. It's not dad who wants to drive you away, but you are married to the Xie family now..."

Although widow Xie is really not good, but after all, it was Wang Xiushu who chose it, and old Wang can't interfere.

"Dad, I'll go back tomorrow." Wang Xiushu felt bad, and she also chose the Xie family. However, widow Xie can't make decisions in her life. "Dad, don't worry, I'll come back to see my brother in a few days. After all, you and your mother are old too..."

Liu took out his chopsticks from the stove and wiped his tears with his hands. Although his family is not rich, they can eat and wear well, but the Xie family

Widow Xie was overjoyed when she came back home. She was half jolted in her hands and hummed a little song from time to time. When she saw Xie Zurong struggling to carry water, she trotted over, "Zurong, mother, you go to read a book. Your hands are born with books. How can you do these rough jobs..."

Xie Zurong seems to be able to run away when the wind blows, "Niang, how about you go to the Wang family?" My eyes are shining.

Widow Xie snorted, carried the water in and said, "how can it be that you don't go out and ask me who widow Xie is, and you want to use our family's money to supplement your mother's family?"

"Mother, are you back?" Xie Yuxiang heard widow Xie's loud voice and ran out. Then she leaned forward and looked back, as if she was waiting for someone.

Widow Xie coolly said, "don't look, I didn't come back," and then said, "but my mother took half a liang of money from that Liu's hand today..."

Xie Yuxiang's face was just a little gloomy, which would be in full bloom, "really, Niang?" Xie Zurong on one side was also very happy.

"Mother can cheat you, Zu Rong, this money to you, tomorrow you go to pay bundle repair, this is half Liang, mother here how many liang, other mother think of a way." Then widow Xie took several liang of money out of her clothes and gave it to him.

"Mother, I'll go tomorrow." Xie Zurong is overjoyed. It seems that he has money to go to Nanfeng Pavilion

But Xie Yuxiang pouted, twisted her waist and chopped her feet. "Niang, you are partial. You said that if you have money, you will buy me a hairpin. Other girls are wearing it..."

Hua Niu, the only daughter of butcher Liu in the rear, is as strong as a cow. She likes to tell Xie Yuxiang that her hairpin is beautiful and copper.

Looking at the unhappy look of her daughter, widow Xie seemed to think of something, "well, when your sister-in-law comes back, let her give you her silver plated hairpin, it's too late!"

She also likes her daughter's pretty dress. At least she is also the sister of the future champion, so she can't lose her identity.

Xie Yuxiang had been looking at the hairpin for a long time, but her sister-in-law kept it tight all the time. She couldn't take it even if she wanted to. "Thank you, mother. Mother is still good to me."

"Mother is not good to you and your brother, but to whom." Widow Xie looks lovingly at Xie Yuxiang, who is coquettish on her body. She doesn't notice that her son has lost his mind.

The next day, Wang Xiushu left her mother's home, but when she went out, she was stopped by Liu. "Xiushu, this is 20 Wen. You can buy some clothes for yourself..." looking at Wang Xiushu's white coat, Liu's eyes became moist.

Wang Xiushu refused, "Niang, you take this money, my clothes can wear, all in Xie's house, I will come back in a few days." She knew that if she got the Xie family, I'm afraid the money would be divided up.

What else did Liu want to say? Seeing Wang Xiushu's firm refusal, he had to say, "put it in my mother's place first, and buy it when you come back."

"Well, mother, please go back quickly. Dad will be back for dinner later." Wang Xiushu said while stepping out of the threshold, looking back at the reluctant Liu, a burst of sadness in her heart.

Back at Xie's house, widow Xie came to her face. "Yo, I still know I'll come back. Hurry to cook. What are you waiting for?" Maybe it's the reason why I got half Liang. Today, unexpectedly, I didn't dig at Wang Xiushu.

"Well, I'll ask Yuxiang to help you." Wang Xiushu did not say no, after all, is still living in the Xie family, but she is not a loser.

What flashed through widow Xie's eyes, and then she promised, "OK, let my little sister help me."

Promise so simply let Wang Xiushu feel incredible, until the evening Xie Yuxiang picky will say, "sister-in-law, give me your hairpin to borrow, in a few days to you."

Wang Xiushu surprised also feel funny, ask others borrow things also borrow so straightforward is never seen, "what hairpin, where do I have hairpin?"

If she admits to have, borrow should become to, Wang Xiushu just won't be so silly.

Xie Yuxiang's face suddenly changed. Danfeng's eyes stirred up slightly. It seemed that she was a little like widow Xie. By the way, Wang Xiushu remembered that it was the mean.

"How can you not have it? I saw you wearing it when you married my brother..." Xie Yuxiang's voice immediately raised, as if the hairpin was hers.

Wang Xiushu pretended to think about it, and then suddenly thought of something, "if you don't tell me, I forget, that hairpin has been pawned by me..."

Of course not when, just Wang Xiushu put in a proper place.

"How could it be?" Xie Yuxiang clearly didn't believe it, "sister-in-law, don't be reluctant. When my brother becomes the number one scholar, you are the number one scholar's wife. If you still lack any hairpins, you will lend them to me..."

Wang Xiushu scoffs in her heart. Madam number one, I'm afraid that she can't see her buried in the earth in her life.

"Do you remember that time when your brother said that he wanted to pay a bunch of repairs, and my mother asked me to subsidize it. Because there was not much left in the dowry, I pawned the hairpin. Have you forgotten?" Wang Xiushu quickly said that when she spoke, her expression was the same as the bitter gourd face before.

Xie Yuxiang thought about it, she really can't remember, because every time her brother didn't fix it, she would ask Wang Xiushu for it, so she really didn't know if the hairpin was pawned.

"I think it's like that." Xie Yuxiang can only casually promise, but she still suspects that Wang Xiushu is lying, but looking at this bitter gourd face, she really can't doubt.

Looking at the hairpin is not landing, Xie Yuxiang looks ugly out of the kitchen, the bowl does not wash, Wang Xiushu also does not mind, otherwise he really lost a hairpin.

When Wang Xiushu was still washing dishes, she heard the conversation outside the door, "is the hairpin coming?"

"She said that she had pawned the hairpin for her brother's sake..."

Wang Xiushu smiles. I'm afraid it's not easy to take her things like this.
